· range 3.8–3.8
Spring Valley maps to a single census tract in Riverdale, GA, population 2,976. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 54% against 33.5% citywide, putting Spring Valley 20.5% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $48,667 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 17.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 30.4% of adults, 12.6 points above the national rate.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Riverdale. For a like-for-like read, Saranac and Shangri-La on the Lake score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,404, close to the Riverdale average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
